Rules Questions / Watchtower Soothsayer timing
« on: October 27, 2017, 10:55:08 am »
My draw deck is empty (meaning my discard is full).
I have a Watchtower in hand.
My opponent plays Soothsayer. They gain a gold.
I gain a curse.
There are now two ways to resolve the on-gain abilities:
1) Soothsayer ability resolves first and I draw a card. I have to shuffle and the Watchtower loses track of the curse.
2) Watchtower reaction ability resolves first. I trash the curse, shuffle, and then resolve Soothsayer ability and draw a card.
My instinct is that I can I choose the order of resolving the two abilities. If that is not the case, can someone point me to the specific rule that determines the order of execution.
Thanks.
